Book Reviews of Colin Cowie's Extraordinary Weddings: From a Glimmer of an Idea to a Legendary Event

Book Review: For the collector
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm a collector of wedding related books, and this one does not disappoint. I wasn't willing to pay full price - a whopping $75 - but when it came down in price on Amazon and Christmas came bearing gift cards, it was the perfect time to add to my collection. The book is beautiful on my book shelf and I enjoyed the gorgeous layout of all the memorable weddings. This has great details about each event and the photos are stunning.
